Josh from Seek Vans. We're here at Expo West, Overland Expo. We're having a pretty good weekend.
This weekend's gonna get a little wispy here today. But this is one of our custom vans that
we did for a client here. He's from Phoenix. He did a lot of exterior fun stuff. You got a luminous
front bumper system. Baja lights in the bumper itself. Up on the hood. Light bar up on the roof
rack. All done on a Switch Pro. Turn them up, turn them down. Pretty cool system.
Luminous roof rack. Fiyama awning on the top. Did the hood wrap. Large winch in the front. I think
it's 5500. Black Rhino wheels and tires. Baja kit. Suspensions front and rear. Both. Small lift on
this van. It's got the luminous ladder of course. Lights all the way around as well. Perimeter lights.
The rigid A-series. You can see those are actually wired into the frame of the van.
All perimeter around the whole van as well. Really cool light. Again more luminous fun
stuff on the back. We've got a luminous rear bumper swing arm assembly with the bike rack
which is something that we worked with Luminous on. It was a great addition to that rack.
They do have a 2019 version as well. Boxes. One up bike racks in the back. Has an onboard air
compressor system on the back. You can see the nozzle there. That's the one in the rear. There's
also one in the front. Again Fiyama awnings. You see those a lot. That's not uncommon. Again the
idea to put the Fiyama awning with the rigid lights underneath so you can get some nice
ambient light underneath the awning when it's deployed. If you go to the inside of the van
you can see the seat that's sitting out here. This is a removable jump seat that's real popular. We
do a lot of those. We're working on a couple different brands for that as well with that
and the Xiamen seats that are also on the inside. So custom Xiamen seats that swivel
on the alpine swivel which is really nice. Offset. Obviously the track that you can turn this. This
client wanted to have basically a built-in office station so this thing rolls out on a lagoon table
which are real popular. You see those in a lot of vans but it turns into that chair comes in here
and it's his mobile station there. He has fire rescue stuff. So this is his workstation.
Sets his printer back there. Laptop up on top and he's rolling. He also did go with the he's
you know here down here in the desert so it has a split unit AC DC operator battery controlled.
This is the AC the condensers under the vehicle not on top so it doesn't take up the space on
the top of the van. Fine little cabinets things like that. Goal zero powers all the AC you know
110 appliances. Microwaves. Induction stoves. Laptops. Computers etc. He has RC cars.
Fun stuff to do like that. One signature thing that you see with SYNC vans. Maybe we could get
that in this photo but we have our retractable daybed. It's on a rack and pinion system and it
tracks out into a full queen. Then it goes back into a little daybed. Have a nice glass of wine.
Read a book. Coffee. Engage. Super chill. Nice nice area. 10 by 33 windows on the side. Vented.
Very common in vans but ours are well detailed. All insulated with all our all our glazing is
insulated shades. Very simple control panels. You'll see that a lot with SYNC vans. We're not
we're trying to simplify your life. Not make it more complicated so you don't get a lot of
complexity with controls. That's why you see the goal zero. Let those guys do what they do best.
We want to do what we do best and that's make the interiors all nice. Put the money where it's
important and keep the systems where they're isolated and separate and not overpowering each
other. So yeah you got tanks. This guy's heating hot water. Obviously heat and AC both. You see
this a lot in SYNC vans is the portable refrigerator and the Yeti cooler pullout.
We do do full it's you know full built-in refrigerators such as Isotherm. Isotherm
the Cruze 85s are our favorite and this thing is designed to that thing goes right in if you
chose that option. But the cooler portable fridge is is is great. Portable fridges last
you know four to five times longer than built-ins because they're well insulated
and don't need the power draw. Got a portable cassette toilet. Dometic. Awesome five gallons
easy dump. No electronics. No just simple. Everything is trying to stay simple. On the
complex side our cabinet guys are are awesome. We use our Blum hardware. Legger boxes. These
are metal boxes so when you forget to basically you know get that thing strapped in when you take
it on the road if it pops out it's not going to blow up. Those are really really bomber drawers.
Same in the uppers. Blum hardware all adjustable. You know if things get out of it out of adjustment
all our cabinets are structurally structural ply carcasses and on the outside is a high grade MDF
that doesn't turn. Everyone complains about the MDF but MDF does not warp and when vans that get to
160 180 degrees when they're sitting out in the hot sun. So these things will stay tried and true
and are absolutely scratch resistant and bomb proof. We love this. You can get totally fun playful and
have a great time inside of this thing and have it just pick your colors and get really timeless
and classic or you can do it like this gentleman did and go orange and have have a ball with it. So
it all depends on what your taste is and what you're looking for.
Jay my partner is great at design and great at getting you where you need to be to
find your find your taste. This van also he has a two-way radio system and he also put in a we've
got a really high-end stereo subwoofer Focal system. It really rocks. It's a great system.
Tip out tray, storage shelves. This is really popular. You see these a lot on vans. There's
a few people that make these. Ours are actually wrapped into the same material that you select.
Lighting we have really cool. It's a yacht lighting system. It's all dimmable you know
really soft touch tap momentary touch and hold lights up you know pick your spot it will remember
the last spot and it'll stay there whatever you want to do. Touch and hold dimmable reading lights
in the back. Just a very elegant elegant way to light up the van. That is a Mack track that we
put on the top. We actually are changing that system. Our new system is going to be a basically
a drop down. There's going to be a track we're working with another company to put in our own
accessories so you'll be able and you can put your own stuff in it too but it basically you want to
hang coat hooks you want to hang you know we have working with Fidlock. Fidlock is a strap company
that's magnetically clasped. You can take your camelback or your bike backpack and it'll just
magnetically snap up and you can put it wherever you want. So this will be a total flex wall.
So we're getting away from the Mack track. This stuff's made for the floor not for the ceiling.
So the rear of our vans have the outdoor shower hot water shower. You'll get your hose quick
release hose to go in there. I think it's pretty common a lot of builders are doing that. We do the
vertical storage for the Mack track with ski racks. This guy has the tracks for there. Lots of storage
underneath. This one is extra wide and very very narrow because he has a massive amount of lithium
storage for the onboard ac unit the battery powered ac unit. Got a massive subwoofer back
here as well so it's taking up a little bit more room but he didn't want to you know he's not
packing a lot back here with the storage boxes in the back and the roof rack without the ac unit
gives him a lot more storage space. So thanks for coming by. Thanks for looking at Sync Vans.
